Inherits Microsoft.VisualBasic.MVP : Implements IBrainFart
Omea Reader and the Microsoft AntiSpyware beta.

Of late I've noticed something really annoying on my computer at home. Generally, things work fine, but whenever I try to open IE from within Omea Reader (which I use for my RSS content) it can take a very long time for the IE window to start responding - and while it does, Omea is locked up too.

I've had a couple of thoughts so far about it.

  1. I need to defrag my drive. (I do, but i'm not sure if this will effect anything. IE opens fast everywhere else).
  2. I've been running Omea Reader since it was pre-beta, and soemtimes when it's database corrupts, stringe things happen. I've currently running bersion 1.0.3 RC1, so it's not necessarily stable anyway.
  3. When I wrote item #2, it got me thinking - the latest version is 1.0.3 RC5, so I updated, and it's still not fixed :)
  4. Maybe it's....ah ha!

I disabled real-time scanning on my install of Microsoft AntiSpyware. What happened? It's a lot more responsive now.

Who do i complain report a bug to? Is this Omea, MS, or both? I haven't noticed this problem anywhere else....

Are you happy with Omea Reader? I've been using 1.0.2 with newsgroups and it is erratic at times.

Geoff,
I run Omea 1.0.1 (I know I should have updated but hey its still someway down on my ToDo list) and run Realtime scanning on MS AntiSpyware and have no issues. I run XP Pro SP2. I even defrag my hard drive once a mont (give or take) so read into that what you will ... ;-)

Scott,
I've had no real issues with Omea 1.0.1 so far as newsgroups go but then I'm not an avid newsgroup reader, just an occasional browser ...
